Hosting - UNIX - Directories in Your Hosting Account
You should ignore all the directories in your hosting account except "cgi-local" which is where you should upload your personal perl, C, or UNIX shell cgi scripts. This directory has been specially set up to allow scripts to run properly. All the other directories are special system directories. You may create new directories for your own use by either clicking "mkdir" in your FTP program or by uploading a folder from your hard drive. You can password protect any directory you create by using the Password tool in your Control Panel. This tool allows you to define userID/password combinations that visitors must enter when they try view any files within the password protected directory on your site.
